Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance, silver moon's sparkling

“I kissed her.”

I’d just walked into the den, and I wasn’t sure I’d heard him right. “What?”

“I kissed her.”

I glanced at the TV to see what movie he was watching, hoping for a clue. Time Bandits. No help there. “Who did you kiss?”

He pointed. “Her.”

Ahhh! Now I understand.

If you buy the middle-sized Cheerios box, there’s a smiling ogre in the upper left corner and the following ad:
SHREK 2
ONLY IN THEATERS
GLOW-IN-THE-DARK
WATCH
COLLECT ALL 10

So far we’ve collected two: The Three Little Pigs and Princess Fiona (in her human, non-green form). Yesterday morning, Jacob asked George to help him put on the Princess Fiona watch, and he wore it proudly all day. I sometimes wonder if Fiona reminds him of his treasured friend, Natalie. She looks a little like her. At any rate, for one reason or another, I know Jacob is very fond of Princess Fiona.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kissed her.

  1. Fiona

    Jacob = man with good taste. Fiona is cute. I’m not trying to hook up with her or anything, I mean, she’s obviously taken already. Just making an observation 😉

    Go Jacob!

    Ever thought about switching your profession to story telling instead of story writing? Wait… that doesn’t make much sense… nonetheless, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED how you began and ended that journal entry. OH MAN, I love Jacob!

    Wow, those are some great compliments! Thanks!

    I thought of you last night. Jacob was about to get in bed and he said, “I need a bandaid.” (Jacob loves bandaids. Once he plastered about nine of them in an overlapping mass of first-aidness for one little scratch on his knee.)

    I said, “How about a mushroom instead?” (Yeah. I know it makes no sense. I like to mess with him.)

    He laughed. Then he said, “That sounds gross to my ears.”

    Heh heh. How could anyone not love Jacob?

    You know, back in the day, the feisty Fiona would have been a perfect match for Jacob. Of course, they would have killed each other. But they would have died happy. ;o)

  9. kissing and et als

    There is a fisherman in Australia called Rex Hunt. On his show when he catches a fish and it is too small he gives it a kiss and sends it back into the water.
    Which reminds me I saw a cute cartoon of a fish lying on the floor and in the fish tank he had left a note saying “Goodbye cruel world”
    Maybe you really had to be there, but I did laugh at the time
